AD: The Boeing Company Airplanes

AD NUMBER: 2013-03-20

PRODUCT: All The Boeing Company Model 757 airplanes.
SUBJECT: Airworthiness Directive 2013-03-20
ACTION: Final Rule

SUMMARY: This AD was prompted by reports of fuel leaking from the front spar of the wing through the slat track housing. This AD requires a detailed inspection of the inboard and outboard main slat track downstop assemblies and a torque application to the main track downstop assembly nuts of slat numbers 1 through 10, excluding the outboard track of slats 1 and 10; a detailed inspection of all slat track housings for foreign object debris (FOD) and visible damage; and corrective actions if necessary.

The FAA is issuing this AD to detect and correct incorrectly installed main slat track downstop assemblies, which, when the slat is retracted, could cause a puncture in the slat track housing and lead to a fuel leak and potential fire.

DATES: This AD is effective March 26, 2013.
